Stranger Things 2, Episode 1 (non-spoiler)
Nov. 1st, 2017 09:31 pmI'm really aware of anachronisms in the show--here are two I noted.
- I don't recall the word "homeless" being something kids that age would be using in 1984. Probably would have called him a "hobo" or something. I think awareness of homelessness was just becoming a thing at that time.
- "KFC" wasn't "KFC" until 1991. I don't recall anyone calling it "KFC", even as shorthand, in 1984. I'm not even sure the printing on the bucket is right for 1984. It was probably closer to the 1978 packaging in this photo.
